This was exactly the point I raised earlier; it seemed that Castellano was having a moment of temper on the track when he tried to ride Ortiz into the inside path in that earlier baby race.
The in-house NYRA team did not even mention the race riding tactics, the outcome, or the injury. Nor was there a tweet about the incident aside from noting that Irad Ortiz came back to win the fifth race with what was an excellent ride. This incident deserves coverage - perhaps not in the moment as I have suggested - but certainly is worthy of discussion.
